Kevin, I have been smoke-free for 4 weeks and 11 hours and I was thinking where has the time gone? I,too, read for awhile before I posted - until yesterday in fact. I know I could never do this alone. I smoked for 38 years mostly 3 packs a day. I too have used every method in the book to quit. I had 3 months twice and 4 days once. I HAVE crawled into a trash dumpster to get out my cigarettes and ashtrays. That was the morning after hypnosis, sigh. This time I ended up in critical care telemetry with my breathing shut down completely. This time those four days I listened to people cough their guts out, and one in the room next to mine die. From smoking. And I thought I was so tough and smoking wouln't dare get me. Even survived cancer in 1999! But nicotine is more addictive than anything else on Earth. So hold on, the ride is terrific and terrible at the same time some days, smile.
Blessings,
Joyce
